To celebrate the opening of the Beautiful European Summer, we welcome the Finnish group JUNNA, coming directly from Oulu, European Capital of Culture 2026. Anna Haaraoja and Juha Seppänen will bring a touch of Finnish magic to the heart of summer, launching the cultural season in Bourges, which will run from July 12 to September 1.
For JUNNA, a journey of 2,800 kilometers; for all the residents of the Centre-Val de Loire region, a preview of the major European events being planned for 2028!
The invitation of these Finnish artists is not coincidental; it is the result of cooperation within the Matrix, a network that brings together 18 territories across Europe. With 150 million European citizens living in human-scale cities, the Matrix facilitates exchange, experimentation, and collaboration to reveal and energize Europe through actions.
Hyvää kesää kaikille, as our Finnish friends say. In other words, wishing everyone a beautiful summer!
